Canadian Dessert Recipes

This date cake is inspired by a Canadian dessert. My sister-in-law Lya's friend, Haley, recently made a delicious, moist maple cake. It was so good Lya asked if she could have the recipe so I could replicate it for the family. I didn’t have any maple on hand so I made a variation using date syrup and dried dates.

The cake turned out absolutely divine. It's so moist! But the best part is the date syrup glaze that is a great reminder of the flavor of the dessert and a way to seal the cake for extra freshness, even the next day. Ours didn't make it that far!
